If you are a maintainer of a software project as I am, you probably spend a lot of time testing and deploying code. The more platforms you add the harder this gets and at some point you need to think carefully what you can do to minimize manual work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I build things for Ubuntu\/Debian\/Raspian and Windows. In the beginning a lot of the deployment here was done on each platform. Hours spent on this for each release. Frustrating. I decided to do some scripts that would make it possible to do the first tree automatically. Saving time if I could get it to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I found Stein Magnus Jodal<\/strong>‘s excellent article Building ARM Debian packages with pbuilder<\/a> and he is the only one that should take credit for the things I describe here. I am just a copy cat in this case, well more or less, just adding some vital things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I had no major problem to get buildings for Ubuntu and Debian to work with pbuilder following Stein Magnis Jodal’s document. The ARM builds was another thing. What I got was this<\/p>\n\n\n\n qemu (or rather pbuilder-satisfydepends<\/em>) fails when checking dependencies. After a long struggle I found that replacing pbuilder-satisfydepends<\/em> with pbuilder-satisfydepends-apt<\/em> was a solution to this problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I repeat the steps from Stein Magnis Jodal’s document here with my changes and updates and comments to get things working. Again credit is to Stein Magnis Jodal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add a file .pbuilderrc<\/strong> to your root acount with the following content<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note the PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD under the Raspbian section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now pbuilder will require three environment variables (in upper case) for it’s use<\/p>\n\n\n\n The os you build for.It can be set to ubuntu<\/strong>, debian<\/strong> or raspbian<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The arcitecture you are builing for. It can be any of amd64<\/strong>, i386<\/strong>, armel<\/strong>, or armhf<\/strong>. Yes som eother supported arcitecure also of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Distribution of the os. For Debian\/Raspbian buster<\/strong>, stretch<\/strong>, jessie<\/strong>. For Ubuntu eoan<\/strong>, disco<\/strong>, bionic<\/strong>, xenial<\/strong>, trusty<\/strong>. Well others shoudl work to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are on a PC qemu-debootstrap<\/a> is used for the ARM builds. So you have to install it with<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also need the keyrings. For Ubuntu and Debian install them with<\/p>\n\n\n\n If that for some reason does not work you can fetch the keyring fro Debian at https:\/\/packages.debian.org\/sid\/all\/ubuntu-keyring\/download<\/a> and for Ubuntu keyring can be fetched here https:\/\/launchpad.net\/ubuntu\/+source\/ubuntu-keyring<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The keyring for Raspbian you can get here<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you need to build the chroots. You do this with steps like<\/p>\n\n\n\n Replace OS\/DIST\/ARCH for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All you need now is the Debian source package for the code you want to work with. Go to the folder where it is and issue<\/p>\n\n\n\n Replace OS\/DIST\/ARCH for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If all goes well you find the resulting package in <\/p>\n\n\n\n replace ‘stretch’, ‘amd64’ and ‘debian’ as to you settings for DIST, ARCH and OS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you rather want you can go into an unpacked source folder and issu<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again replace OS\/DIST\/ARCH for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thats it really.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I experienced situation when dh-autoreconf<\/em> was not available in the chroot and when it did not get installed. This was for Ubuntu. If this happens you can instll it manually with<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hope this can save some time for someone. And again thanks to Stein Magnis Jodal for his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below is some code you can use if you think typing on a keyboard is tiresome…<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the arm builds you may need to add the line<\/p>\n\n\n\n to your pbuilder configuration (.pbuilderrc) file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Use armle<\/strong> for Raspberry Pi 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n This info is current when this is written but may not be when you read it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you are a maintainer of a software project as I am, you probably spend a lot of time testing and deploying code.
